125: Should you track ALL 3 macros or just CALORIES and PROTEIN?

lundi 3 octobre 2022 β€’ Duration 36:18

**Disclaimer: You do not have to track calories, macros, or anything at all. This podcast assumes you have decided to use some form of tracking for some goal. We will not discuss β€œshould you track at all” in this episode.

-

In today’s episode we discuss the difference between counting all 3 macros and counting just calories and protein.

-

I break down the pros and cons of each approach both from a scientific and practical perspective and discuss which might be better for you depending on your goals.

-

At the end of the day my goal is to give you all the information to help you decide what’s best for you. That’s it 😊

124: Fat Loss: The WHAT, the HOW, and the WHY. You’re asking the wrong questions.

jeudi 29 septembre 2022 β€’ Duration 28:28

When it comes to fat loss, most of what’s discussed on social media or asked in Q&As are these β€œWHAT” questions

What are your calories?

What calculator should you use?

What is your protein target?

What is your goal weight?

A lot of the questions are about numbers…

And I’m not saying those questions don’t matter. They absolutely do. If you’re gonna track your calories you do need to pick where you’re gonna start. I get it. It’s just that these questions are getting more attention than they deserve.

This podcast discusses these β€œWHAT” questions and how it is probably more important to spend time on the HOW and the WHY if you want to make real, lasting behavior change (which is what is required).
